Series marks -> Arrows -> Pointer

UserLS · Post by **UserLS** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 9:00 pm

On the series marks -> Arrows page there is "Pointer" button. What it supposed to do? I tried to change every available property under that editor - no effect! Am I missing something?

Hi UserLS,

For being able to see its effect you may need to change arrow length in the same dialog at the Length up/down control. Setting it to 20 and making pointers visible should be enough.

OK, I see them. A few observations. I have an area graph and when I make these pointers visible, I expect them to be connected to the bottom of the arrow, but they are actually drawn in the middle of the z-axis and so, unless I have a 2D graph they will not be connected to the arrow. Second, they do have an option "color each", but instead of coloring the pointers (what I expected) this color in different colors the top of my area (which I did not expect at all).

Hi UserLS,

This is most likely because you are setting this:

Code: Select all

			area1.Pointer.Visible = true;

instead of this:

Code: Select all

			area1.Marks.Callout.Visible = true;

However, when you use the first and set ColorEach = true both the pointers and top lines are painted in a different color each one.
